Your Favorite 44 mag brass

[randyrat]

I found NEW Winchester brass 44 mag $29/100. How is the Win brass compared to other favorite brands. What are your favorite brands? Are they harder to find lately?
That's the only new brass I have been able to find for a while, on the shelf no shipping brass.

Winchester, followed by Federal. Remington need not apply due to past shortcomings in various calibers. I chose Winchester as first choice because of availability. Federal handhun brass is really good, unlike their 223 brass.

[MtGun44]

Starline, but never really had any significant problems with other brands, actually.

Winchester, never had a problem with it, only problem I ever had with any 44 branss was Remington, didn't want to fit in my shell holders right, after I modified the shell holder slightly that wasn't a problem either.
Have 500 starline ready to go brand new, used this brass in other rounds and like it.

My favorite 44 brass is the kind I have but definately not the kind I hope to get.

[blasternank]

Starline.

[Mal Paso]

Free Brass is my favorite!

[Firebricker]

I like Starline the best they hold up well for me Winchester brass would be my second choice. But I have also used Remington with no problems. FB

[white eagle]

IF buying new it would be Starline brass ! used! any brand that i can have aleast 250 + pieces of , i use a certian brand of brass for each load, that way i never get them mixed up , this is very helpfull when useing the same bullet for several loads , look at the headstamp and you know the load.
i use starline , federal, winchester, r&p, norma , midway , cbc, pmc in the 44 mag

[Matthew 25]

Wow, I'm surprised to see so many Winchester fans. I just bought 1000 pieces, they are a pain. Sizing the new brass is so...not smooth. Simply impossible in the Dillon press, lots of elbow grease in the Rock Chucker. I suppose it could be the dies, they're Redding.
My vote would be TopBrass. That was my last batch that is still in pretty good shape. Maybe hard to get these days, that's why I switched. I wish I had gone to Starline.

I prefer Starline, and if its not avilable Federal.

[imashooter2]

Free Brass is my favorite!

Yep. And when I can't find that, I go with cheap.

[songdog53]

I have used lot of Winchester and Federal and just about every kind and some 20 years old and still holding up good.

[bigboredad]

If I have to buy and I have a choice starline has always been first choice in any caliber. Then winchester and pmc has been good but a little hard and brittle

[firebrick43]

If you can swing it buy 500 or even better yet a thousand from starline direct. It so much cheaper per shell ( includes shipping to boot) that it's not even funny, close to what many ask for mixed headstamp once fired brass. It top notch brass as well.

[Bush Pilot]

Starline

[randyrat]

Yes would be nice to order direct from Starline, BUT back ordered until 06/15/11...
WOW $0.183 each for 500 pcs That is a good price. Free shipping!

[bigboredad]

I just get on the list when they are back ordered. I've had really good luck the brass has showed up early the last 2 times they were back ordered on their .45colt brass

[Shuz]

Starline is great brass at a great price.

About 15 years ago I picked up a large pile for free - R-P, Win, & Fed in quantity and a few odds and ends of others. I simply sorted it by brand and started rotating thru it - never experienced any problems with any of it that I can recall.

If I had to buy it today I would likely choose Starline simply because of their generally low price and good reputation.

Starline works for me
